Get the Look: 3 Wavy Hairstyles

Celebrity hairstylists tell us how to get these pretty, laid-back 'dos.

Beachy Ponytail: Eva Longoria

Waves bulk up an otherwise skinny ponytail. Plus, adding a bit of texture elevates what's usually a basic gym look to a dressier style with more personality, says celeb stylist Sarah Potempa, who developed the Beachwaver.

Create the look:1. Work a dollop of mousse into damp hair and blow-dry, using your fingers or a brush to add lift at the roots — try Aussie Sprunch Mousse + Leave-in Conditioner ($3.50, drugstores). 2. Then gather your hair into a high ponytail; a nylon and boar-bristle brush will minimize bumps. Secure with a snag-free elastic band. (Thick hair? Wrap a clear elastic around your ponytail to keep it lifted.)4. Section off one-inch-wide pieces of hair and wrap them around the iron. If you prefer more wave and volume, work in smaller sections. The key to this look is leaving the bottom two inches uncurled. "The straight ends keep it from looking like a 1950s-style bouncy ponytail," Potempa says. 5. When finished curling, let your hair cool, gently shake out the ponytail with your fingers, and mist with a flexible, light-hold hairspray. One to try: Bumble and Bumble Cityswept Finish ($29, Sephora).
